Gadget That Knocks Drones And Google Glass Offline
A gadget that can knock Google Glass offline? Sign me up for one!
That's what the creators of Cyborg Unplug promise. Billed as a "wireless anti-surveillance system," Unplug is, essentially, a portable router that can detect drones, surveillance cameras and mobile tech like Glass trying to access your Wi-Fi signal and boot them off of it.

Google Is Target of European Backlash On U.S. Tech Dominance
I was going to say that Google sure seems like Europe's whipping boy lately but it would seem the term "whipping Wagnerian dragon" is more fitting these days.
Across Europe, Google has been under fire, reflecting the broader challenges facing American technology companies. Google, fairly or not, has become a glaring proxy for criticism of an intrusive American government and concern over America's unmatched technology dominance.

Reddit Declares Itself A 'Government'
Reddit's CEO says his company is the "government of a new type of community." Umm, if you say so.
The reason is because we consider ourselves not just a company running a website where one can post links and discuss them, but the government of a new type of community. The role and responsibility of a government differs from that of a private corporation, in that it exercises restraint in the usage of its powers.

You closed my Twitter account? I KEEL YOU! It would have been funny if Twitter locked them out of their accounts and posted this guy's videos instead.

What Does Apple Watch Mean For Gaming?
The short answer? Nothing. Long answer? Not a damn thing.
There's a lot of time between now and "early 2015" when Apple expects to ship its Watch. Third-party developers have been given tools — dubbed WatchKit — to develop apps for the Apple Watch, and Apple listed partners like Facebook, Pinterest and even BMW, so we're sure it's just a matter of time until game developers figure out what to do with this thing.

Should Bezos Apologize For 99 Cent Fire Phone?
What do you think? Should Jeff Bezos apologize? Maybe he should hand out some Amazon gift cards to early adopters to smooth things over?
Amazon's move to drop the price of its Fire Phone to 99 cents with a two year contract tells you all you need to know about how the device is selling, the company's business model and how it'll screw early adopters. But Amazon's Fire Phone may have just set a new benchmark for price depreciation. It took 46 days for Amazon to basically make the device free.

Tinder Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
Tinder has settled that sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former executive. The settlement probably includes money changing hands, no one admitting guilt, gag orders and all that other jazz.
Whitney Wolfe, who served as a vice president of marketing and described herself as a Tinder co-founder, filed the lawsuit in June, accusing the company's chief marketing officer, Justin Mateen, of repeatedly calling her disparaging names and harassing her. Wolfe also accused the company's management of allowing the behavior that ultimately forced her out of the company.
